Description of problem: Numa aware ksm state in file /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/merge_across_nodes is not affected by changing settings of Cluster (KSM per each NUMA nodes or KSM share NUMA nodes)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhvm-4.2.0-0.5.master.el7.noarch

How reproducible: 100 %


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set cluster with with NUMA aware KSM policy = KSM share NUMA nodes
2.Put active host to maintenance
3.Set cluster with with NUMA aware KSM policy = KSM per each NUMA nodes
4.Activate host

Actual results:
On each Host of the cluster file /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/merge_across_nodes always contains 1

Expected results:
On each Host of the cluster file /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/merge_across_nodes contains 0

Additional info: it is regression from 4.1
